This week was highlighted by a slew of early-stage funding announcements in the range of 500K to several million dollars (see a full list below). On the acquisitions front, Google made waves with its acquisition of two companies clearly aimed at bolstering its Google+ offering and competing with Facebook in social media—in-site search company Apture and social contacts organizer Katango.
